MicroPilot`s new True Hardware-in-the-Loop (trueHWIL2) simulator offers UAV integrators and researchers the highest-fidelity UAV autopilot simulation available on the market today. Existing quasi-hardware-in-the-loop simulators approximate a UAV`s flight by exchanging sensor and control surface position information with the autopilot over a serial port or CAN bus. This form of simulation introduces inaccuracies as an autopilot in flight reads this information directly from its sensors instead of a serial port or CAN bus. MicroPilot’s trueHWIL2 offers a dramatic improvement in simulator fidelity by electrically simulating all sensor outputs using an analog-to-digital converter, signal conditioning, and PWM interface boards. MicroPilot’s trueHWIL2 allows our customers to replicate the conditions their UAVs experience in flight, offering superior on-the-ground validation of autopilot setup and integration.
